SeekingSitters Makes Finding a Sitter Easy and Safe

SeekingSitters, an on-demand babysitting referral service, does all the work for you. Our local SeekingSitters services Washington, DC and Montgomery County, MD–with around 50 active SeekingSitters locations all over the country. Families simply sign-up online then they can place a request and SeekingSitters will send you a professional sitter. No longer will you have to call every kid on the block to find a sitter. One call or log in to SeekingSitters and a background-screened, professional sitter will contact you. No more stopping at the ATM on the way home or figuring out what to pay the sitter. SeekingSitters does all the calculations for you and has it charged to your credit card.

SeekingSitters knows finding childcare needs to be convenient and with someone parents and kids trust. All Sitters are at least 18 years of age and have sitting experience with references checked. Plus, they have their own transportation or take public transportation so there is no need to pick up and drop off a sitter. Furthermore, all have CPR and First Aid certification and have been personally interviewed by the local owner. And they have undergone an intense background check performed by a licensed background investigator.

Sitters with STYLE

All sitters are ultimately employed by you on a job-to-job basis. However, sitters have agreed to follow the SeekingSitters S.T.Y.L.E. which stands for:
Safety – always keeping your children safe.
Time – used wisely with age-appropriate activities and TV time is limited.
Yak – not yakking on personal calls or text unless an emergency.
Look – wearing a SeekingSitters shirt to better identify themselves to you and your children.
Exit – sitters will leave the home put back in order as it was when they arrived.

The pricing is a three-part process. First, there is a one-time $59.99 sign up or activation fee. This fee covers the cost of you, the member, getting a background check. SeekingSitters wants not only the families safe but the sitters as well. Second, there is a membership service fee based on how frequently you might be using the service. It ranges from $25 per use to $15.99 monthly for a 12-month subscription. The monthly subscription allows you to request a sitter as frequently as you like each month. Third, is the hourly sitting charges. The rate is based on the number of children, starting at $19.75 per hour for one child. There is a four-hour minimum on each sitting job.

Benefits of SeekingSitters

Once you are a member of SeekingSitters, you will have access to all SeekingSitters roughly 50 locations in the US. If you travel for work or pleasure you may use SeekingSitters in many other cities without having to join that location, simply add that location to your online account. Also, your online account is where you can see sitter profiles, select your preferred sitters and even block sitters you may not want to have assigned. From your account, you may also request a sitter and add specific instructions to the sitter and notes to the administrator. Once your sitter has been assigned and she has accepted the job, you will receive either a text or email notification with the name of your sitter. She also will call or text you to confirm the sitting job prior to arriving.

When you arrive home from your event, the babysitter will either have you sign a paper job card or an online verification of the time that she was at your home. There is no need for cash or check; your credit card will then be charged for the number of hours she was there. You can even add a tip to the job card to be added to your credit card charge.

SeekingSitters really does make finding a sitter easy and safe. If you have had concerns about how to find a safe babysitter or don’t have the time to interview multiple different sitters, then contact SeekingSitters at 301-963-9349 or visit their website
